Friggitoria Chiluzzo

A no-frills street-food window on Piazza Kalsa: no seating, panelle in a sesame roll.

Panelle are chickpea-flour fritters fried hot, stacked into a soft sesame roll with a squeeze of lemon. Crocchè are mashed-potato fritters cooked in the same oil. Order one of each, salt them, eat them on the curb. Family-run for three generations, open since the 1940s. €3 for a sandwich. Cash only. The other window on the square is the competitor; both are worth doing. Open till the food runs out, typically around 4 p.m. (sometimes 5); get there earlier to be safe. Closed Sundays.
